Problem

Let $N$ be the greatest integer multiple of $36$ all of whose digits are even and no two of whose digits are the same. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$.

Solution

If we include all the even digits for the greatest integer multiple, we find that it is impossible for it to be divisible by $3$, therefore by $36$ as well. The next logical try would be $8640$, which happens to be divisible by $36$. Thus $N = 8640 \pmod {1000} = \boxed{640}$
